Beyonce is just too sexy for Malaysia..??
 That's what Pas Youth thinks. And they have a point about her being sexy. But Malaysia can handle her booty-liciousness. Perhaps Pas Youth, can't. I think Beyonce is hot and sexy. But just because she is, does not mean that we should not let her perform. Pas Youth says it is not against entertainment, but is just objecting to this American superstar's concert here because of her sexy attire and seductive dancing. Its vice chief Ahmad Sabki told the News Straits Times yesterday that Pas Youth is unhappy with the trend of bringing in Western groups to Malaysia. "We know that these groups are not suitable for our Malaysian culture. Their appearance and attire are against our Eastern identity." He said even if Beyonce were to dress in a jubah (Muslim attire), she was still known for her "sexy image". "We are against Western entertainment that promotes hedonism. We do not want our youths to be misled. "We have in the past objected to Indonesian dangdut artiste Inul Daratista performing in Malaysia as she is also well known for her sexy gyrations." He regretted that the media had portrayed Pas as a conservative party that seeks to ban entertainment. Beyonce will be performing at the national stadium in Bukit Jalil at 8pm on Sunday (Oct 25). It is part of her "Beyonce I Am ..." world live tour. She was scheduled to perform in Malaysia in 2007 but gave Kuala Lumpur a miss and performed in Jakarta instead. (source: NST) Oh dear, oh dear. This happens every time a foreign artiste or group has a scheduled concert in this country. Pas Youth probably feels that it has a responsibility to keep Malaysia safe from undesirable foreign elements. Just fulfilling its role as an Islamic party. But Pas Youth cannot be deciding what kind of entertainment Malaysians should and should not have. Pas Youth has got to stop this. Tak payah-lah nak fikir-fikir pasal ni semua. Malaysians are not unfamiliar with Beyonce, or other foreign artistes -- sexy or otherwise. They are on TV (MTV and channel V), and in other forms of media, including Youtube. So, yes, TV has a profound influence on viewers. And that is why you see our kids all dress up like Beyonce. Sigh. Besides, this is not your average concert. Tickets for the concert are so expensive. The cheapest is RM93 and the priciest RM583. Oh, by the way. Beyonce does not go around topless (as in the photo) -- in case you're wondering. Not on stage, nor off. That's just for a photoshoot.
